00:02President Donald Trump's $300 million White House ballroom project is the largest addition
00:08to the presidential residence in more than 70 years, according to Benzinga.
00:13The 90,000 square foot ballroom replaces the East Wing and will host up to 1,000 guests
00:18for state dinners and events.
00:21Trump and private donors are fully funding the project, which the White House says will
00:25not cost taxpayers.
00:27The design mirrors the opulent Mar-a-Lago style, featuring marble floors and bulletproof
00:32glass.
00:34Preservationists criticized the demolition of the historic East Wing, but the administration
00:38said the project represents the American spirit.
00:42Construction is expected to finish by January 2029.
